00:05.790 --> 00:07.440
- [Narrator] Having a shooter on base

00:07.440 --> 00:10.570
is a very real threat that
requires the quick response

00:10.570 --> 00:12.113
from a well trained team.

00:12.420 --> 00:15.660
Military bases often run
drills to sharpen the senses

00:15.660 --> 00:19.080
of security personnel tasked
with re-establishing peace.

00:19.080 --> 00:21.580
- So what we did here was
an active shooter exercise

00:21.580 --> 00:23.723
where they told us the building.

00:23.820 --> 00:25.960
We all rendezvoused and
went straight to the threat,

00:25.960 --> 00:28.143
secured the area, and that was it.

00:28.950 --> 00:31.700
- [Narrator] The exercise
involves a complex scenario,

00:31.700 --> 00:34.223
designed to reflect real-world events.

00:34.490 --> 00:36.560
- This is very important
because this type of incident

00:36.560 --> 00:38.890
happens too often to even count

00:38.970 --> 00:40.920
so we need to be prepared at all times.

00:41.570 --> 00:44.490
- The Active Shooter Drill
involves the entire base

00:44.530 --> 00:47.363
and can last for close
to one and a half hours.
